What are the dimensions of the roof beams? If they are narrow dimensions, it is difficult to insert metal plates. One could also consider the opposite according to the sketch, having double roof beams and extending a beam, or a flat steel that supports the pergola, which can then be simply "clad" with wood.
Deep slots are difficult to manufacture. You have to saw them with a band saw and chisel out the rest. I think both suggestions from @bossespecial are worth considering. The important thing is to include the pergola construction from the start in the plans. A good construction should be visible.
No, but I can make one. A slot would work, but from experience, they are difficult to manufacture.

Nice, I like this. A lid on top outside for moisture?

I don't know the dimensions yet, we're going to start detailed planning shortly so I wanted to be proactive with this part The span is only between 4 m to 4.87 m on this building, so the beams will probably be quite light.
Double roof beams are not a bad idea. That feels sensible, we've got something there. Thanks for the great input, everyone! It's appreciated. Now I just have to come up with something constructive about moisture-proofing for the housing company. Justus, you mentioned sheet metal - a flashing over where the beam goes through the facade along the entire roof?
Got a response from the house manufacturer that they would have done exactly like this, but that they do not want to undertake it as part of their design process because it is a risk construction. Feels a bit tricky to tackle this just with the craftsmen, don't you think?
